【Winner's comment】

I am so glad to receive this award. The data presented in this conference are my research data when I took Ph.D course in NAIST. I realized I could not get this award without supporting and collaboration from many other people. In this opportunity, I would like to express my greatest gratitude to Professor Kiyomi Kakiuchi, Associate Professor Tsumoru Morimoto, Dr. Hiroki Tanimoto and all members of Synthetic Organic Chemistry Laboratory for their help, valuable advices and great support. I express my deep appreciation to the President of NAIST, Professor Akira Isogai, and the Dean of Materials Science, NAIST, Professor Masao Tanihara for giving me grant-in-aid for scientific research during my study. I am deeply grateful to Professor Tatsuo Takeya and Dr. Anton Bahtiar of Graduate School of Biological Science, NAIST for the bioassay. I am also thankful Ms. Yoshiko Nishikawa for High Resolution Mass spectrometry measurement and Mr. Shouhei Katao for X-ray Crystallographic analysis.

【Research's content】

Novel polyhydroxylated 18-membered analogue of antimycin A3 was synthesized. The synthesis was commenced with Boc-L-Threonine and was achieved by way of one-pot homocoupling of ring-closing metathesis reaction and Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation. The analogue exhibited a greater anticancer activity against HeLa cells, breast MDA-MB-231 cells, and prostate PC-3 cells than that of the original antimycin A3.
